He's collaborated with the likes of Britney, Madonna, Beyonce and Gwen Stefani, but Pharrell has admitted there's one band who he's always wanted to work with - Oasis.

Pharrell collaborated with Daft Punk on one of the biggest songs 2013 - 'Get Lucky', and in the same year sang on Robin Thicke's controversial hit 'Blurred Lines'. Those two acts were just the latest in a huge list of artists the producer and singer has worked with over the years.

Speaking to The Telegraph, the singer first discussed how not getting to work with Michael Jackson before he died was not a sadness, "because we're provided with circumstances that we deduce the lessons that are there for us to learn, and you have to be grateful for those." He then added, "I always wanted to work with Oasis."

Pharrell was also asked whether he would consider working with U2, to which he responded, "Fuck yeah! Hell yeah. Who wouldn't? I love sharing the spotlight. That's what it's for. It's like sunlight, right? It's not just for you and me. It's for everyone. There's room under the sun for everyone. I get a joy out of sharing the light."

He also discussed how his debut album In My Mind, which was released in 2006, was poorly received because "I was more concerned with the imagery the music simulated versus the music itself. Because there was no real intention for like - I'd say 80% of it was braggadocio. Most of it was just like, I wanted to compete with my peers."

Pharrell's latest solo album, GIRL, was released in March, and has since sold over 450,000 copies in the United States alone.
